Abstract

Aim. To establish the factors contributing the development of tumors in patients who were previously treated from pulmonary TB to improve the diagnostic algorithm for the earlier detection of cancer for the patients who are registered in TB institutions.

Materials and methods. Modern diagnostical techniques of pulmonary tuberculosis and lung cancer, surgical methods of verification of tuberculosis and lung cancer.  

Results. "The method of early diagnostics of combined forms of TB and lung cancer" patent № UA 85416 from 25.11.2013 r is developed and implemented into health care practice for the early diagnostics of lung cancer. The questionary for the screening and the original mathematical method of differential diagnostic algorithm have been improved for patients at different stages of treatment.

Conclusions. Currently CSCT and video thoracoscopy with the biopsy of tumor and lymphatic nodules have a great value for the lung cancer diagnostics at the preclinical phase.
